Cristian Mungiu on R.M.N. | NYFF60

Director Cristian Mungiu discusses R.M.N., a Main Slate selection of this year’s festival, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim.
Cristian Mungiu, whose bravura films such as 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days and Beyond the Hills dramatize the tensions of a modern Romania still beholden to dangerous traditions, returns with a gripping, mosaic-like portrait of a rural Transylvanian town riven by ethnic conflicts, economic resentment, and personal turmoil. Matthias (a glowering Marin Grigore) has returned to the village after an altercation at his job in a German slaughterhouse, only to find that his estranged wife has grown more distant and his young son has stopped talking after witnessing something disturbing in the forest near their home. Meanwhile his former lover, Csila (Judith State), with whom he hopes to rekindle an affair, has become involved in an escalating controversy when her local bread factory hires Sri Lankan migrants. These strands converge in increasing combustibility, building to an unsettling climax and a bravura town hall sequence that ranks with Mungiu’s best work. An IFC Films release.

I saw the film yesterday and I highly recommend it. This story could be transported to any other country in Europe at least. I'm writing from Madrid, Spain. Great interview, by the way!

A true reality check, no filters. Definitely his 2nd best.
